about me.

Hello, friends! My name is Helen Byrd Sledge. I am wife to oilfield man, Sam, and mom to sweet baby boy, Silas. We live in Midland, Texas. After six amazing years of photographing weddings, I now spend my Saturdays chasing a tiny human and drinking margaritas.

I love photographing families and couples - capturing relationships and all the love that goes along with them makes my heart so very happy. Sometimes you're the Hallmark card and sometimes you're #shitmykidsruined-photo session edition, but the images in between are where all amazing lives.

I'm beyond grateful for the gifts I have been blessed with - my life's hope is to be a light in a dark place. Bringing all the good feels to clients with images they will cherish forever is my absolute favorite. Cheers!
